Hey all! This is Tyler from Power Tank! We are a small family business based in the Sacramento Area of CA. Power Tank started in 1997 by my dad, Steve, before there were any good portable tire inflation products on the market. He put together a CO2 system from parts from a welding supply after ruining a set of brand new BFG mud tires from not being able to air himself up after a trail. He put an ad in a 4x4 magazine and it became a business! Fast forward 25+ years and we have been constantly improving the Power Tank while also adding more products to our lineup. The Power Tank remains the fastest and most reliable way to air up after a day on the trail, especially when paired with Monster Valves which also allow rapid tire deflation. We make Shock Inflation tools used by professional race teams and rec wheelers alike. Our line of propane tank brackets and fire extinguisher brackets are lightweight and incredibly strong. We are extremely fortunate to have two 3G Tundras in our parking lot. You may know Cha and his green 3G with a 4WheelCamper Project M. We also have Ken, Steve's childhood friend, who comes in to help us in the shop occasionally. He purchased a 3G to pull his new Airstream Basecamp. Ken doesn't plan to wheel his Tundra at all (yet) but he will talk your ear off his 85 4Runner that he's had since new, still on original paint. www.powertank.com

Let's be honest, it's a V6 with Turbos...I'm not sure why Toyota thought it would be good to make these trucks sound like they have a loud V8 but they did. I had an SR5 before my Platinum, and I actually grew to like the sound of the new engine and hearing the turbos spool up when I eased into the throttle.

So when I got my Platinum, I knew I had to turn the noise off, and I'm glad I did. I also turned the annoying seatbelt chime off among other things.

Here is the link to the product used and also my YouTube video:
